+ * What the local runtime holds that the project's files don't (e2e G3).
+ *
+ * `local dev` applies files; until now nothing happened when one was
+ * deleted: an Agent whose folder was removed stayed on the runtime, `status`
+ * never named it, and only `local reset` (every row gone) took it away.
+ *
+ * An Agent, workflow, Function or knowledge base on the runtime with no file
+ * in the project is an **orphan**. `status` lists each with its fix. One the
+ * project applied before (its key is in the applied record) had its file
+ * deleted, and `local dev` takes it out of service the safest way the runtime
+ * offers, reversibly, and puts it back when the file returns:
+ *
+ *   Agent           archived (the platform's delete is an archive: its versions
+ *                   and conversations stay) — restored when its folder returns
+ *   workflow        archived (versions and runs stay) — restored before its next push
+ *   Function        switched off: the runtime has no way to remove a Function —
+ *                   switched on again when its file is deployed again
+ *   knowledge base  left as it is: deleting one takes its documents with it and
+ *                   cannot be undone, so `status` only says it
+ *
+ * An orphan the project never had (made in Studio, say) is only said: it may
+ * be work someone means to pull into the files. A Function switched off with
+ * no file is not one: it doesn't run, and there is nothing left to do.
